Been a while, everyone!
Lots of things have happened since I was here last; I've moved to Canada and am getting settled, looking for part-time work and gonna be doing lots of volunteering as well. I even have my own idea for starting my own business, and it does revolve around art in its many forms--including game development (did I mention I have an interest in literally everything?) There's this awesome place in the city I live in called the Makerspace, which is basically a creative heaven, haha.
Here's a link to their website: http://kamloopsmakerspace.com
It's got everything a creative type could ask for, and it's perfect for someone who has an interest in every art form. I'll probably find fellow game dev enthusiasts, and since I live in a university town, I think I'll connect with the student union there and see how else I can connect with people.
What I want to do is use art as something of a universal language to convey positive message for humanity; the importance of walking together as one collective whole, pooling our individual strengths while compensation one another's weaknesses; reconnecting with nature and learning from the world around us, inspiring and empowering people from all sorts of backgrounds...it's a lofty goal, and I won't be able to do it alone. The thing about my interest in every art form and pursuing as many as I'm able is that I can collaborate with people and organizations over many disciplines and causes, and my challenge would be to figure out which art form is most effective in various circumstances. Since collaboration falls in line with my mission and vision, all the volunteer work I plan to undertake will be an important first step to figuring out how I'll do this and forming an actual business plan. What's more, since I don't learn well at all in a university/formal educational environment, I will be taking a different approach. All this collaboration will be a great alternative as far as learning and building skills goes.
So, honestly? It would be in my best interest to hop on board a Pokemon fangame project. There's really no getting around the learning part, hahah. When the time comes, I'll start my search right here--and I'll probably have lots of stuff of my own to share. Feedback is pretty important for what I'm doing, after all!

It is by descending into the pits of one's personal hells to face them, conquer them, and make them part of one's strength that one realizes what's called "true power."
